Chapter 312 Sweet Rain

"Are you tired from the journey? Why did you bring so many things back?" Xu Meifeng and Jin Yu brought out two bowls of hot drinks to warm the child up first. They were surprised to see the boxes being brought in one after another.

"The specialties over there are all prepared for Tongtong. It's hard to refuse their enthusiasm. We only found out about it after we got off the plane!" Jin Xin was very excited. Zhan Gonglaoshi and his men were not stingy at all. They prepared some good things.

Angelica from Minxian, Codonopsis pilosula from Hongchang, honeydew melon from Guazhou, apples from Tianshui, lilies from Xizhou, Tao inkstones from Xizhou, grapes from Dunhuang, luminous cups from Xizhou, green tea from Longnan... There is a dazzling array of products, from food to daily use, all the famous characteristics of Xizhou are brought in double portions.

When they got off the plane, many people from the security department helped carry them. When they went upstairs, they simply used the small carts that had been prepared in advance to push them up.

"Xiao Cai, Xiao Wang, Xiao An, come stay for dinner. Everything is prepared at home!" Wu Jingzhong and Jin Yuan helped. After they moved the two children's things into the house, they called the three people who escorted the two children upstairs.

"No, Uncle Wu, we still have to go back to report on our work. Let me tell you in advance, Happy New Year!" It was rare for President Wu to go home, so Cai Yi and others would not stay here for long. They brought their things in and said goodbye with a smile.

Wu Tong entered the house. The community security force was sufficient, and they did not need to interfere with Mr. Wu's family and stay by his side.

"Tongtong, the Internet said that you won another award, and it's the world's top mathematics award!" After watching Cai Yi and the other two go downstairs and close the door, Jin Yuan couldn't help but confirm the good news he just saw with Wutong again.

"Our leader just called me to congratulate me!" Wu Jingzhong nodded in confirmation. He had just hung up the phone before Tongtong and Jinxin arrived home.

"Our school leaders also called me!" Jin Yu also raised her hand. Their school leaders wanted to invite Tongtong to give a speech at the school. However, Tongtong was so busy, and Jin Yu was more willing to let her child have a good rest, so she did not agree.

They belong to primary school. It is not appropriate to ask Tongtong to talk to primary school students about the extremely difficult mathematics knowledge they are studying, or about life and ideals. Primary school students cannot understand what Tongtong is doing now. Or, don't waste Tongtong's rare rest time.

It is not easy for Tongtong to have some private rest time throughout the year. Neither of them is the kind of person who would advertise it, and only a few people know that Tongtong is their child.

"Yes, the Wolf Prize in Mathematics is a world-class mathematics award, which is pretty good!" Wu Tong nodded and gave it to Wu Jingzhong and Jin Yu for confirmation. She had just checked the confirmation on her mobile phone and it was indeed awarded to her.

"This is great, it's a big happy event for our family, let's celebrate it together for Tongtong today!"

"We'll have a pot later. This year's New Year's Eve dinner will be a pot. You can put whatever you want in it. It won't take seven plates and eight bowls. It will get cold soon!"

We didn’t know when the children would be home, and we were worried that the dishes would be cold after cooking, or that the children would be home too late and we wouldn’t have time to cook the main dish. So after discussing it, the family decided to use the pot as the main dish.

Paired with some cold dishes and a steamed fish, which represent abundance every year, the table is already filled with food.

They made the pot more flavorful and made a special four-grid pot with mushroom base, tomato base, fish maw and chicken soup base, and spicy pot base to cater to everyone's needs and give the two children more choices.

Wu Jingzhong and Jin Yu stayed in Xizhou last year, where there was no shortage of mutton. Thinking that their two children would be tired of eating mutton in Xizhou, the family put a lot of thought into the ingredients for the pot.

There was only one plate of mutton, and the main dishes were beef, shrimp balls, squid, tripe, yellow throat... and fresh vegetables, which were rare in Xizhou. Wu Tong and Jin Xin must have missed them.

Wu Tong held a small soup bowl, which contained half a bowl of fish maw and chicken soup. The soup was cooked long ago, and the soup was thick and fragrant after being cooked for a long time. The fish maw was semi-translucent, the chicken was firm and tender, and the chicken skin was shiny. The aroma of meat was faintly wafting, and the soup was fresh and delicious. Blowing gently and taking small sips, the sweet and fragrant taste passed through the taste buds, which was very comfortable.

Wu Tong gave his grandfather a thumbs up and praised him highly: "This soup is the result of your cooking skills, it is the pinnacle!" Most importantly, it has the taste of home and the love of family members.

It was hard to refuse the kindness of his mother and aunt, so Jin Xin also drank the soup. Grandpa's soup-making skills had indeed improved by leaps and bounds. However, he really wanted to touch his shaved head to make sure that it was okay for him to drink fish maw and chicken soup? Fortunately, the amount was not much, so he could make up for it! Anyway, anything, if not in excess, would not have much impact.

On the bright side, he is treated the same as Tongtong!

"Hahahaha... After three days of absence, grandpa has made my precious granddaughter look at me with new eyes!" Jin Yongqing was full of smiles. His one year of training was not in vain. Look, his precious granddaughter and he are so in tune with each other. She can tell it's his craftsmanship at a glance!

Jin Yuan and others also gave a thumbs up to the old man. The old man and old lady in their family, following the eldest sister and her husband who restarted their studies, really believed in learning throughout their lives. Now they have great skills in making soup!

The old man practiced his craft, and they really had a lot of soup and water this year, and they were well maintained! It can be said that they enjoyed the benefits of the old man practicing his craft!

The old man's enterprising spirit doesn't allow him to slack off. At his prime age, he has to save more money for his two children while he is still young. Although Tongtong's financial resources are definitely more than what he has accumulated in previous years, and Jin Xin expects that there will be state pension in the future, this does not affect his desire to make more preparations for his children.

The hot pot with the word "fresh" in its main ingredients was like a blessing to the brother and sister who had stayed in the yellow sand of Xizhou for a long time. They opened their appetites and enjoyed the careful preparations of their family to their heart's content. Amid the joy of the Spring Festival Gala, they stayed up all night with their family to celebrate the arrival of the Spring Festival.

The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year, and the spring breeze brings warmth to the Tusu.

During the Spring Festival, Wu Tong took advantage of the New Year to stay at home with his family. Apart from visiting his teachers and wishing them a happy new year, Wu Tong just stayed at home with his family and did not go out again.

The first day of the New Year is a day to relax, the second day is to go back to the parents' home, the third day is to entertain the girls... except for the first day of the New Year, the other two items are basically irrelevant to the family. For the family, it is just symbolic to move the gathering place from the Wu family upstairs to the Jin family downstairs, which can be regarded as adding some interest to the New Year at home according to folk customs.

Starting from the fourth day of the New Year, Wu Tong spent two days bringing his parents, as well as Professor Cheng, Dean Pan, Professor Zhou, Professor Li, and other familiar teachers to visit them and wish them a happy new year.
